The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled, showing no anger at having his person robbed.

"Alliance Leader, why meddle in the affairs of the imperial court?"

"Having been entrusted with a task, I must be loyal to it. If someone wants to buy her life, I, the alliance leader, will naturally spare no effort. Besides, haven't you all been busy too?"

The man brandished the sword in his hand and said casually.

"Then I advise the alliance leader to give up. The small Four Seas Alliance is nothing in the eyes of the Hidden Sect."

The old man exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.

"Oh, old man! I know, I didn't try to take her from you. I'll go back and ask the person who entrusted me with this. If he insists on killing the girl next to you, then this leader of the alliance will have no choice but to be ruthless."

The man flicked his sword and suddenly said with a grin.

"Lu Zhiyan! She'll be my junior sister from now on! If you dare touch her, I, Jun Jianchou, won't take it lying down!"

Before the old man could speak, the young man next to him suddenly glared fiercely at Lu Zhiyan, the leader of the Four Seas Alliance.

"Oh? Then we'll see!" The man raised an eyebrow and smiled before disappearing in an instant.

"They've left. Take them back to the mountain!"

The old man glanced at his apprentice, left these words, and then vanished without a trace.

"Mommy! Little Fish is so scared!"

As soon as the old man and the man who killed her left, Xiaoyu immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Five-year-old Jiu Yi looked confused, but because he didn't get along with Cen Xi, he didn't dare to go up and hug her.

"Get in the car! Once we get to the Hidden Gate, everything will be fine!" Jun Jianchou looked at the mother and her two daughters with a complicated expression.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Jun. However, it might be inappropriate for the three of us to follow you here rashly."

Having just escaped from a wolf's den, Cen Xi naturally had to be wary of everyone.

"Hey! Have you lost your mind?! My master just saved you and is going to take you back to the Hidden Sect to take on disciples. You're not grateful, fine, but you're treating me like a thief. Do you think I'm some kind of villain?"

Upon seeing Cen Xi's refusal, Jun Jianchou instantly flew into a rage.

"No! No! But we seem to have just met, you... don't get so close to me."

Sensing the approaching aura, Cen Xi immediately backed away.

"Get in the car! We'll talk on the way!"

Jun Jianchou rolled his eyes at her and said.

Cen Xi thought for a moment. The martial arts in this world were too powerful. Her zither skills alone wouldn't be enough to protect her. The old man who had saved her earlier looked like a wise and venerable master. If she studied martial arts with him for a year or two, she might be able to walk around with impunity when she came out.

She could kill the man in black who had just killed her in just as many ways as she wanted.

So Cen Xi, holding the little fish, glanced at Liu Jiuyi and got into the car.

Although Liu Jiuyi was unwilling to follow Cen Xi, he had nowhere else to go. Besides, his mother's body was occupied by this damned woman, and Xiaoyu only listened to her. Even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to get on the bus.

In the car, Cen Xi could tell from his awkward expression that the little brat was probably scolding her again.

Cen Xi glared at him and closed her eyes to rest.

After walking for a while, Jun Jianchou couldn't resist lifting the curtain to bother Cen Xi:

"Hey! You brat, you're sleeping so soundly? Why don't you ask me and Master how we found you so quickly?"

"I'm a deity! How would I know you'd arrive so quickly? I'd like to ask you, what do I have that you could possibly gain from? Why are you going to such lengths to save me?"

Cen Xi never believed that these two people had no ulterior motives towards her. No one gets up early without a reason; there's no such thing as a free lunch. There must be a reason behind this.

"Of course it's because of your beauty! You're so pretty! I like you!"

Jun Jianchou raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.

The man's smile gave Cen Xi an instant feeling of déjà vu, as if Yu Kuang were living in the world.

So she blurted out:

"Your cheeky manner is just like one of my friends."

"How is it similar?"

Jun Jianchou raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You're just like him in every way! Your tone of voice, your movements, even the way you raise your eyebrows—it's exactly the same as that guy's. Only your face is different. He's as handsome as a flower, as good-looking as Pan An, while you... well, let's just say your appearance is indescribable!"

Cen Xi gave him a serious look and summarized.

"Damn it! What do you mean 'it's hard to explain'? My face is unparalleled in the world, second on the list of most beautiful women. You're telling me it's hard to explain? Are you blind?"

"What is the Beauty Ranking? Who is number one?"

Cen Xi seized on the key words and asked.

"I'm not telling you, you brat! I've gone to great lengths to find your soul for twenty years, and you actually say I'm not as handsome as I used to be? Do you believe I'll hang you on the city wall and dry you like a fish?"

Jun Jianchou glared at him resentfully.

The tone of his voice...

What about a soul that has lasted for twenty years?

A thought instantly popped into Cen Xi's mind: Could it be that Yu Kuang has also transmigrated? The guy in front of her is Yu Kuang.

Yes, when they were dealing with the Wang family, a group of soldiers came. The leader said that the piece she played was called "Demon Sound Breaking the Sky," which came from the Hidden Sect, and this guy was a member of the Hidden Sect.

Startled by this thought, Cen Xi stood up and bumped her head on the roof of the car.

"What, you're finally getting the hint and admitting I'm handsome!"

Jun Jianchou tossed his hair and said in a sultry tone.

"You're so ugly it's almost unbelievable! Yu Kuang, so you've time-traveled too! You're living the high life, why don't you come find me? Look at the kind of life I'm living, and look at the kind of life you're living. Come here, I'll slap you to death."

Cen Xi calmed down the moment she hit the car roof. She was certain that the person in front of her was Yu Kuang, the one who always had to take a mirror to check his stunning good looks before going out.

"..."

"I've been searching for your soul for twenty years, and I finally managed to get you into your current body a while ago. And you, woman, actually say I didn't look for you. Damn it, are you the ancestor of all ingrates? Come out here, and I'll show you how to tear you to pieces."

Upon hearing her say that, Yu Kuang instantly flew into a rage.

What does it mean to have searched for a soul for twenty years?

Seeing that he was really angry, Cen Xi wisely changed the subject.

"It's because you were born with such good fortune that people said you were the lucky star of the Great Banquet Dynasty. Someone couldn't stand it and swapped your soul. My master and I only found your soul two months ago, and it took a lot of effort to put it back in its place. And you still say I didn't look for you? Have you no conscience?"

Yu Kuang glared fiercely at Cen Xi as he explained.

"What? I actually transmigrated more than twenty years ago? I've just been a wandering soul all these years?"

"Yeah! I don't know if that person who said you have good luck is blind. With your pathetic fate, a lucky star? You're just cannon fodder at best!"

Yu Kuang chuckled and teased.

"Damn! What kind of plot is this? You mean, God initially gave me a political intrigue script, then switched it to a farming script, and now that He's not satisfied, He's switched it back to a political intrigue script. Is He going to give me a fantasy drama script to try out later?"

Cen Xi swore and then analyzed what kind of fate she had in this life.
